The python script snippet below connects to the udp data stream (socket 5606). It the retrieves and stores the package into a large string (data) . then I can unpack out the required data from the string i need.
Im trying to convert this over to AppGameKit Ive made some attempts but not getting anywhere.
When I looked at the reference guide it seems the functions are there but i believe im using it completely wrong.

Is there any way I can adapt this code into a working AppGameKit format, or am i barking up the wrong tree?

the original project (which works very well) is an extra dash for Project cars 1 & 2. It receive the telemetry data sent by the game and creates a speedo , rev counter , split times , lap times etc. I made it initially on my raspberry pi so python was Ideal.
Ther are some friends in my racing comunity would like me to do a similar app for android. I originally looked at kivy but the build process is always hit and miss, so i wanted to try something more stable.

import socket
import struct
UDP_IP_ADDRESS = "0.0.0.0"
UDP_PORT_NO = 5606
serverSock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
serverSock.bind((UDP_IP_ADDRESS, UDP_PORT_NO))

while True
data, addr = serverSock.recvfrom(1367)
if data is not None:
package_type=struct.unpack('B', package[2:3])[0] & 0x3

Ive stuck at it and found my way around the network problem, the issue now is converting the data, I can retrieve real numbers with GetNetworkMessageFloat but Im having trouble with the unsigned and signed 16 bit integers, ive been hunting the internet for functions and posible ways of making my own function to convert them, im sure Im looking in the wrong places and Im hopefull theres a simple way of doing this but Im not seeing it at this time.
Many thanks .

I wasnt actually aware of this , Ill look into it.
Is it multi platform like the mainstream AppGameKit? Specifically Androind?
